I assume your seeing a reflection of it on the opposite wall. I think it can explained with your eyes and losing clarity as you get older, no matter how much you want to deny it thats the reality. Unless you recently passed with 20/20 vision.
The light traveling from TV to mirror undistorted. When you view the mirror, you are watching the "TV" only as far as you are from mirror.
Atleast thats what I think ?
I for the longest time refused to get glasses although I had weak eyesight as a child but just hated fiddling with glasses, just last month I got a pair, although my vision is very lightly impaired and just passed a driver license renewal but with the glasses on, looks like I'm viewing the world in HD.
And HD turns into Super HD !
